Overall this was a great cruise. The ship is full of so many options and places to explore. Try something new - the ropes course is so fun!Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
Unreal. This is a must. If you do nothing else, eat here.
Flamingo Restaurant
Food was wonderful. Staff was….trying but just not very friendly.
Fortune Teller Bar
Better than the latitudes on the Celebration. The drinks were fun, unique and the staff was a riot.
Cucina del Capitano
Don’t overlook here for a nice lunch! Pasta was great!
Lido Marketplace
Very repetitive.
The Watering Hole
Sail away drink for the win!
JavaBlue Cafe
Don’t let the line scare you. They are 10x faster than Starbucks. Wonderful staff! The chocolate rev milkshake is fantastic.
Carnival Kitchen
We did the apple pie cooking class. Was a lot of fun. The instructor was a little out of touch with the group but still was a great time.
Brass Magnolia Bar
Less busy than most and the bayou lemonade was fantastic.
Bar della Rosa
Espresso martini was off the hook!
Emeril’s Bistro 1396
We highly recommend doing a breakfast here! So good and worth the $6. It was a nice change up from the daily breakfast offerings. The banana foster crepes were out of this world.

BOLT Ultimate Sea Coaster
Was not open more than 2 hours our entire 7 day cruise. Very disappointing.

Ship tip
Explore the ship! So many people on the last day were like, “wait, that is on the ship?” It is easy to keep going to the same places but change it up. 7 days and we didn’t see every venue!
